How does William Waillace's name alone serve as an example of ethos in this case? What evidence do we have to support this idea?

A name can establish ethos with its title (ex: President or Doctor) or with its status. Like if you heard the name "John F. Kennedy" it already establishes credibility because of his position as President, and so readers already believe he is a reliable speaker. So if William Wallace was a well-known person, his name establishes credibility because people already know of him and respect him, and so believe he will be a reliable speaker.

Explanation:

I'm not sure who William Wallace is or the context, but hope this helps!

emerson essentially believes that traveling is overrated. he supports this perspective through an initial focus on "the idea" of places like italy, england, and egypt, and the fascination of "educated americans" with them. he argues that those places only took on the grand, majestic ideas that they represent because "they who made england, italy, or greece venerable in the imagination did so by sticking fast where they were, like an axis of the earth." yes, those places are grand, but only because they so clearly represent the places that they are. the art and culture of italy, england, and egypt is authentic, and therefore significant.
